The Partnership Retreat, Riyadh, Saudi
Accessibility
As private credit continues to grow in scale and become a more significant allocation within institutional portfolios, questions around defaults, dispersion and liquidity are naturally becoming a more prominent part of the investment debate.
On 29 September 2026, Adam Baghdadi, Managing Director, Lending Solutions at Arrow Global, will join the panel, “Private Credit in the Headlines: Defaults, Dispersion and the Liquidity Question”, hosted by With Intelligence – The Partnership Retreats at The St. Regis, Riyadh.
The discussion will explore how investors should interpret recent headlines concerning defaults, redemption pressure and gating in semi liquid vehicles, including whether these are isolated, idiosyncratic events or reflect wider market dynamics.
Panellists will also consider where the most compelling opportunities are emerging and how limited partners should approach underwriting standards, manager selection and portfolio sizing as the asset class continues to evolve.
Hani Kabbabe, Managing Director, Head of Middle East, Arrow Global, will also be attending the retreat and looks forward to meeting with investors throughout the event.
We look forward to Adam sharing Arrow Global’s perspective on the role of disciplined underwriting, thoughtful portfolio construction and selectivity in a growing and increasingly important market.
